Magical Shopping Arcade Airs on G4TechTV

Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi AIRS ON G4TechTV!



HOUSTON, February 11, 2005—It's wacky, it's hilarious, and it's invading your television set! Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi is an out-of-this-world anime that you've gotta see! Check out the 13 episode series now on G4TechTV's Anime Unleashed!



From GAINAX (Neon Genesis Evangelion) comes the hilarious adventure of Sasshi Imamiya and his best friend Arumi Asahina after they discover that their neighborhood shopping district is actually a portal to a series of parallel existences. Reality decides to take a vacation as Arumi and Sasshi suddenly find themselves in a world like their own… only not. And as they try to fight their way back to the real world, they'll face menacing mushrooms, big-breasted space pirates, killer kung-fu fighters, a tripped-out transvestite, and a sorcerer who seems to be in some sort of midlife crisis… and that's just the beginning!



“We're very excited for the opportunity to showcase Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi on G4TechTV's Anime Unleashed. It's the perfect place to ‘unleash’ this wacky comedy, and we're sure fans of all ages will enjoy it,” says John Ledford, President and C.E.O of ADV Films.



They say there's no place like home, but this ain't exactly Oz, and it sure as heck ain't Kansas!
